THn HAY SCALES CAsE.-The Circuit
Cour. Tor the county. as heretofore stated,
will begin it's fall term next week at the 20
lumbus street Court house. During that
term Judge Keith has promised to decide
the oug pending bay scales case OF Flam
ming VS. the Corporation of Alexandra.
This involves all the questions relative to
the grant OF the half acre for the town mar.
ket and the use of its south part as an alley.
The case has led to much searching of old
records, and the testimony which has been
produced makes history OF the market and
its surroundings. The question involved,
the right of the city to put the hay scales in
the alley south of the market, has been, in
the laws delay. almost forgotten, and for
some years the hay scales have, 10 fact, been
the scales at the coal yard of Hewes &
Aitcheson, on Duke and Fairfax streets.

Frsy TO hold Williams in Baltimore till he
couId be sent for this evening. Capt. Web
ster and officer Grady left here for Baltimore
at three o'clock this afternoon and are ex-
neclel back tonight with their prisoner.
Williams, as is we'll known, is wanted here
where there is an indictment pending
against him On the charge of killing officer
Jnan Arnold in May last. John Curran,
who was indicted with Williams on the
same charge, was tried and acquitted at the
last term Of the Corporation Court. There
ire doubts rs to whether case can be made
against Williams, as so far but little evidence
has been adduced to connect him with the
shooting and Curren, when on the stand,
swore that Williams vas not with him nor
did he see him on the night Arnold was
killed. There are uow two rewards offered
for Williams, one by the Mayor OF SOU ter
his arrest ana conviction ard another by
the Governor of 5000 for his arrest alone
There are some who believe that Wliilama
fears nothing from his arrest aud wiii'in the
end share the money offered for his capture

short: | can only say that rs an edu-

modern realistic and scientific literature,
which Is addressed to sharpening the
observation and the perceptive powers
which case us in as with shell. ami
are the master gloom of oil our dark
mesa. There is nothing more necessary
to mental health and balance. as Is
shown by the cagerness OF healrly chill
,lrcn for nutriment to thu imagination.
than the cultivation Of tho more OBJ
scure parts of the imagination. 1t may
not con luce to success in business, but
it conduccs to sanity.
When thought is held entirely within
the limitations of the natural and posi-
tive. imagination takes terrible re-
venge. a peculiar and distressing form
Of insanity awaits the posterity of the
men aud women to whom the things III
this world are the only subject III
thought Fungi grow in the dark, ul-
conscious recasses OF minds never IL
lumined by the weird light of the un-
DERIVING world. When the gods are nh
